Gale Banks Engineering is often called upon by major automakers to develop and research "outside the box" projects. They have been relied upon by such major manufacturers as GMC, Chevrolet, Buick, Pontiac, and Volvo.

Banks engineers are ruthless and uncompromising when it comes to testing. They use only the most advanced equipment and facilities for testing prototypes and experimental designs and re-testing existing ones.

Many aftermarket suppliers farm out their designs to other manufacturers or assembles "grab bag kits" from several sources. This is not the case with Gale Banks Engineering. Banks manufactures every product it designs, from the Banks Ram Air Intake to Banks Top Tube Headers and tuners, to exacting specifications. This attention to manufacturing is truly the Banks difference.

Gale Banks Engineering has the unmatched combination of expertise, experience, and engineering/design/manufacturing savvy to provide performance products that continue to raise the bar in the aftermarket industry.
